PushButton Labs
announces they have acquired The Incredible Machine; both the series
of puzzle games, as well as the intellectual property itself.
PushButton Labs was
co-founded by Jeff Tunnell and Rick Overman, veterans of Dynamix and
GarageGames, and this acquisition of The Incredible Machine represents a bit of
a homecoming for the series, as Jeff Tunnell was a co-designer on the original
game (Wikipedia
lists him as its producer). With the IP in hand, it seems likely new games in
the series will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, they have bundled up almost
every game in the series for release on
GOG.com in a DRM-free bundle called The Incredible Machine Mega Pack
for $9.99. Here's an outline of the contents of the compilation: "Pack includes
almost every game from series: The Even More Incredible Machine (includes The
Incredible Machine with new puzzles), The Incredible Machine 3 (Windows
compatibly The Incredible Machine 2 with new interface and enhanced graphics),
Return of the Incredible Machine Contraptions and The Incredible Machine - Even
More Contraptions."
